2. @ Olympic Stadium vs Montreal Canadiens

Canada and hockey are two things that go perfectly together. Two important cities in all of Canada are Ottawa and Montreal. Throughout history, the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens have had their history of intense battles. Both teams are bound to have another outdoor meeting in one of the most iconic stadiums in all of Canada: Olympic Stadium.

Olympic Stadium in Montreal has a ton of history with important events. From the 1976 Summer Olympics, to hosting the Montreal Expos from 1977 to 2004, and to hosting hot popular music artists, the stadium would be a perfect setting for the NHL to play an outdoor game. With Ottawa and Montreal having big French populations, it draws for a big setting. The stadium has a capacity of 56,000

Both teams have played each other once before outdoors at the NHL 100 Classic in 2017 at Landsdowne Park. The Senators won the game 3-0 with a capacity of 33,959. Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored the game winning goal, and Craig Anderson recorded a 28-save shutout. The game was also one of the coldest games played in NHL at 13 degrees.

If the Senators were to play again outdoors, playing the Canadiens in Montreal at Olympic Stadium would be a great venue to play at. With the stadium's previous history, adding in an outdoor hockey game would add more history to it.
